Thanks to all of you for your input and recommendations. Based on what you have written, I will take a light down jacket for Maine, and probably 4 pairs of socks. I'm fairly comfortable using the...

I have searched these forums without much success for answers to some of the questions/concerns I have. I started a thru-hike in 2002 at the age of 43 and made it all the way to Gorham, NH before...

FYI: I contacted Whitehouse Landing Camps in the 100 Mile Wilderness about the possibility of spending a night there in August. Linda replied, "I am sorry but we are no longer taking AT hikers off...

Even more good info. I should have chosen my adjectives more carefully... I did not mean to imply "stinking bus" as in smelly and unclean (it's definitely not), but rather that the thought of the...

Thanks for the good info Peakbagger and Slo-go'en. I'm going to make a note of your suggestions, and I probably will do some slackpacking. By the way, after all of my mental masturbation trying to...

Fly the "White Knuckle Express"! That's a very interesting idea... If I make it to Katahdin I will give them a call just out of curiosity to see if their schedule and price works for me. I know I...

And now that getting a rental car out of Bangor is on my mind, do you think it would be smarter to park my car in an RV lot in Bangor instead of Gorham? I would then start my trip by taking a rental...

Wait a minute... I initially didn't pay much attention to your suggestion, but then I gave it another look and WOW... I think this might be the best solution of all. I can take the bus to Bangor...

Great information. I hadn't thought about the liability aspect of the "drive for gas" shuttle services, and I didn't realize it was so easy to catch a ride south on I-95. I ended up taking a bus...

I’m very familiar with Google Map Directions, but it doesn’t show ANY public transportation options from Medway to Boston or from Boston to Gorham I looked it up before I posted just to see if...

There is nothing "wrong" with going all the way back to Boston, spending the night at a hotel, and then all the way back to Gorham. But I have done it before, and since I speak from experience, I do...

The only thing I'm concerned about is getting from Millinocket back to Gorham, and particularly from Augusta to Gorham. For anyone who might be interested, the bus schedules out of Medway going...

Mando12, how did you decide to manage this trip? I'm planning to do something similar this year - park my car in an RV lot in Gorham, hike to Katahdin, and then find my way back to Gorham. I know...
